Recommendation

By STEVEN

It is said that the elderberry is natures natural flu vaccine. As I heard more and more about the problems with the way they made flu shots and all the possible things that they have or have not caused I became concerned for my health. Then when we had a shortage of flu shots and the young the old and the sick were to go first and I was , as it turned out, to go never. I haven't taken a flu shot since then. Instead I've added a couple tablespoons of Elderberry concentrate to my morning cranberry grape acai mixture. I haven't had so much as a head cold since. Not scientifically valid nor am I an expert but I am not a liar and I might just be lucky but I haven't had any health issues even of the most minor nature.

MAP - Minimum Advertised Price

Sometimes, manufacturers require that products be advertised at their "suggested" price, even placing restrictions on how that price is communicated to potential customers. Of course, we have the right to sell products for however much we want, and sometimes do choose to offer a product for lower than the minimum-advertised-price (ie, MAP). In these special cases, the manufacturer does not allow us to display the actual price until a customer initiates an action on their end.

Still with us?

Let’s skip right to the bottom line: You can always see an item’s actual sale price by clicking the "Add to Cart" button or the "See Price In Cart" link. Please be assured that simply adding an item to your cart does not obligate you to buy it. You can always change your mind and delete the item from your cart if you decide it’s not for you or the price is higher than you expected.
